Meanwhile, at the Farrell family mansion, the atmosphere had been tense, with a particrly low air pressure. Everyone moved cautiously, not daring to make noise for fear of angering rissa.


    rissa hadn''t returned to thepany, staying at home instead. Sometimes she sat on the sofa in a daze; other times, she stayed in the study all day. The butler brought her meals to the study, but she ate very little. He wanted to persuade her but didn''t dare.


    It was known that every time Mr. Dunn visited, rissa''s expression became more solemn. Some family members had been causing troubletely, and rissa either ignored them or scolded them harshly, even having bodyguards teach them a lesson. This rough handling made her even more unpopr, deepening the resentment.


    Mr. Dunn arrived again, and the butler invited him in, watching him go upstairs as if he owned the ce. The butler sighed inwardly.


    Holden, rissa''s husband, didn''t have such freedom, even though they had children together. rissa trusted Mr. Dunn more; he was her lifelong assistant. Holden had lost his status in rissa''s eyes due to his affair. If not for the children, they might have divorced.


    Mr. Dunn went straight to the study, knocked on the door, and entered after rissa responded. rissa was practicing calligraphy.N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Mr. Dunn observed her writing, "What are you working on?"


    rissa replied, "My calligraphy."


    "Madam, you''re distracted, and it shows in your writing. You should stop and not waste the pen and ink."


    Mr. Dunn was the only one who could speak so frankly to rissa, and he was right. rissa was restless, her thoughts elsewhere. Her calligraphy was poor, wasting materials.


    rissa''s face darkened, and she made a mistake with thest word. Frustrated, she threw the brush on the table, ruining a piece that took a long time to write. Mr. Dunn handed her a tissue to wipe her hands and cleaned up the mess. After a while, rissa sat on the sofa.


    After tidying up, Mr. Dunn asked, "What''s the current situation?"


    "The eldest young master of the York family is here. He arrived not long ago and is going to the hospital to visit the youngdy."


    rissa was silent, then sarcastically said, "She betrayed her biological mother in exchange for someone else''s visit. Is it worth it? No matter how many bad things I''ve done, I am still her mother. Can''t she put aside morals and side with me? If it weren''t for her tip-off, our n wouldn''t have failed. When I see her, I want to strangle her."


    She hated Shiloh''s biological father even more. If he hadn''t swapped the two children, Kathryn would have grown up under her care, bing better than Liberty and Serenity, and more loyal.


    Mr. Dunn knew rissa was harsh with everyone but could never be harsh with her only biological daughter. If the three young masters had done such a thing, they''d be dead by now. But the youngdy was fine, only pped twice by Shiloh.


    Compared to losing her life, being pped twice was nothing.


    Mr. Dunn sighed, "The youngdy''s values are set. It''s difficult to change them. Ma''am, if you want to seed, eithen put the youngdy and Pedro under house arrest or let the youngdy continue to sleep, though that''s unlikely. Now, the youngdy is guarding against you."  rissa wanted to kill Kathryn, but she was her only daughter. If she had another daughter, she wouldn''t tolerate Kathryn''s betrayal.


    "Is the gasoline ready?" rissa asked.


    Mr. Dunn replied, "Yes, we are prepared. We''re waiting for Audrey and the others toe and confront N you. When everyone is together, we can execute the n."  rissa''s eyes turned cold. "When Audrey brings him here to confront me, ensure Kathryn and Pedro do not appear."


    She wanted to die with Audrey and the others, along with her enemies in the Farrell family she just wanted to save her only daughter, Kathryn, and Pedro, as Kathryn needed him.
